Saha: Who Are You Calling a Speed Bump?
"That's right."
Rita placed her hands folded in front of her, smiled, and nodded.
"Not long ago, Gwen sent me this Invitation Letter, asking me to deliver it to Miss Vita and to tell Vita that the original agreement has been fulfilled, and that she can open it if she is ready."
"The original agreement?"
Vita muttered something to herself, then suddenly froze, her body involuntarily leaping up from her chair, staring at Rita with a look of utter astonishment—
Did he say where he is now?
"Gwen only said that he is in the place you guessed."
Rita smiled and shook her head, a hint of mystery in her smile—
Although we got along well before, I was often tricked by this mysterious Ms. Vita using information asymmetry. Now... I guess I've managed to turn the tables?
"It really is..."
Vita immediately confirmed her suspicions and instantly understood the source of her current poor condition—
Although So chose to sever all ties with him in the Sea of Quantum, he was ultimately her creation.
Now that the Creator is in distress, it is normal for her creation to feel it.
"That's really efficient..."
With a sigh, Vita slowly sat down, toying with the Invitation Letter in her hand, but did not open it immediately. Her expression was somewhat complicated, as if she was thinking about something.
Rita didn't interfere, leaving it to Vita to consider.
"Rita, can you tell me what will happen after we open it?"
After a long silence, Vita spoke again, but she seemed to have reverted to her usual mischievous self, looking at Rita with curious eyes and teasing Gwen—
"I asked him before, and he said he would sell his soul to me. I didn't believe him, and he said believe it or not..."
"Did Gwen tell you that?"
Rita was taken aback upon hearing this, then smiled and shook her head.
"It is not about selling one's soul, nor is Gwen a demon who collects souls."
However, to fully unlock this Invitation Letter and make it yours, authorization in the realm of the soul is required.
In the eyes of those with ulterior motives, this naturally presents a risk of selling one's soul.
But in reality, this is just a deeper level of integration.
Rita shared her understanding with Vita.
"Well... Rita, may I ask what your reaction was when Gwen delivered the Invitation Letter to you and told you that you needed to touch the soul?"
Upon hearing this, Vita didn't continue criticizing Gwen. Instead, she leaned forward slightly and looked at Rita curiously.
Rita opened the Invitation Letter and selected to bind.
Rita's smile remained unchanged as she calmly stated her choice.
However, looking at the curve of Rita's lips, Vita subtly felt a sense of defeat.
"You really trust him..."
Vita looked at Rita with a grin, her tone slightly teasing.
But Rita didn't respond as usual. Instead, she nodded slightly and continued with a gentle smile—
"Yes, that's right. I trust him, just as he would trust me..."
Although Rita initially maintained a distant yet intimate attitude towards Gwen for the sake of You Lan Dai Er and her own safety.
But now, their relationship has undergone a complete transformation.
"How enviable..."
Vita gave a heartfelt exclamation, tore open the Invitation Letter with her small hand, and then, without much hesitation, found the target she needed and chose to bind.
Now she has been ruthlessly abandoned by the god who created her, unable to return home, and left to live a lonely and helpless life as a dependent.
Now there is a chance to take back what has been lost, or even to avenge a wrong, at the cost of a possible soul-threatening ordeal?
If this alone could provide her with a safe haven that she didn't dislike, then Vita thought it was worth a try...
With Vita's experience, she easily understood the existence of the Chat System that was presented in her field of vision.
Just as Vita was about to say something more to Rita, Gwen's message arrived—
"Critically ill, come quickly!"
"..."
Upon seeing these four words, Vita understood Gwen's meaning instantly without any misunderstanding, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.
He drank the water Vita had just poured him in one gulp, stood up, and said to Rita—
"Please take good care of us from now on, our best maid."
As for me, I'll have to excuse myself now...
Chapter 751 Suo: Who are you calling a speed bump?
As soon as she finished speaking, Vita disappeared from the room, leaving only Rita.
Rita was no stranger to this and knew exactly what had happened.
Rita remained skeptical about Gwen's decision to also extend the Invitation Letter to Vita.
This woman's personality is simply too dangerous. Although she is often taken aback by You Lan Dai Er's straightforwardness, it does not affect her cunning.
However, since Gwen has chosen to trust him, Rita naturally won't overstep her bounds...
Meanwhile, Vita suddenly found herself in a dreamlike starry sky.
And before him stood the Creator, whom he both loved and hated, and who he didn't know how to deal with—
Sa.
However, at this moment, Suo appeared exceptionally miserable, his divine power gone, resembling a dying monster, only lacking the hysterical struggle of a dying man.
Sora, who was lying at Gwen's feet, was the first to notice Vita's arrival.
"It's you..."
The consciousness that had been gathering before in order to devour Gwen was now clearer, and his gaze toward Vita was full of complex emotions.
Although he always spoke coldly to Vita, seemingly showing her no affection whatsoever.
But only Suo herself knows the complex emotions she harbors towards this agent who is almost identical to her former self.
"Yes, it's me..."
Upon hearing So's voice, Vita's smile froze, and she ultimately couldn't manage a smile. She nodded in response and then turned to look at Gwen.
At this moment, Gwen had not yet deactivated his transformation and remained in the form of the Giant of Light, looking down at Vita and So.
"Another unprecedented stance..."
As expected of you.
To avoid attracting Suzaku's attention, he deliberately used a power she had never seen before.
After exchanging a glance with Gwen, Vita looked away slightly and said with some emotion,
"And, to think they won her over so quickly,"
Vita looked back at So, her tone carrying a hint of meaning.
"They were caught completely off guard..."
"If we're prepared, then it can't be considered a surprise, right?"
Gwen smiled and replied casually.
"Huh?"
Could it be that saying they were collecting resources and samples from the globe was a pretense, and that they were really preparing this surprise for me?
Vita's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she smiled and said.
"Would you be happy if I said yes?"
Gwen countered.
"Of course..."
Vita walked briskly with her hands behind her back, like a little girl, seemingly in a very good mood.
"So that's the result..."
Gwen said with a smile, without exposing the awkwardness and unease beneath Vita's smile.
If Vita had seized So's power through her own scheming and hard work, and achieved final victory, then perhaps she could have stood tall before So and declared her victory.
But if it were like this, being abandoned as an insignificant pawn and brought back here by someone else, Vita would feel somewhat uneasy.
"That's a very pleasant answer. It's a pity you're not in your true form right now, otherwise I might not be able to control myself..."
Vita chuckled, seemingly unconcerned that So was right beside her.
"Can't help but want to lament the ruthlessness of the world and the pain it has brought you?"
Gwen gazed at Vita's fake smile, sighed leisurely, and asked slowly.
"...
"Tch, don't you know some things are better left unsaid?"
Vita paused for a moment, then pouted and spoke, but it didn't diminish her charm at all; instead, it added a touch of haggard beauty...
"..."
Looking at Vita like this, a strange light flashed in So's eyes, but he didn't say anything, he just stared at her.
She has been severely beaten, and this avatar can be declared useless. The losses are incalculable, and most of the consciousness that has gathered is now tightly restricted.
But this doesn't mean it's over yet—
As long as I can get out of here...
As long as she can send a part of her consciousness away, she will still have a chance to start over.
It will simply lie dormant for tens of thousands of years.
Can she afford to wait...?
"Alright, I'm very happy to see her in this state. What are your plans for the future?"
After talking with Gwen for a while, Vita, whose emotions had barely stabilized, looked back at So, who lay on the ground as if dead, and asked softly.
"As for me... I'd like to ask for your opinion."
Gwen laughed.
"My thoughts?"
That won't be necessary..."
Vita waved her hand—
"I really didn't do anything. I relied entirely on you to get to her like this. I have no right to dispose of the spoils..."
"Then I'll take the liberty of making the decision..."
Gwen knew that Vita was in a complicated mood, so he took the opportunity to continue the conversation—
"When we were fishing earlier, she had already focused her attention and awareness on this, and now I've got her trapped here."
The world she nurtured over countless years, parasitizing the Sea of Quantum, was virtually undefended to me.
"You want to take over that crude world?"
Upon hearing this, Vita frowned slightly.
"As far as I know, although she tried for a very long time, that world still cannot be called a complete world."
Otherwise, our Creator God wouldn't have been so easily defeated by you, almost like a speed bump that has been run over, with no power to resist.
Moreover, the world she created is quite unique, and the method of anchor point replacement may not necessarily be feasible.
